Industrial Cybersecurity Skills for 2026 (OT, ICS & IT Convergence)

In this video, I break down the ⚡Top 5 Industrial Cybersecurity Skills to Learn in 2026⚡, covering both OT/ ICS security and its convergence with IT security.

Modern industrial attacks don’t stay in one domain.

They often start in IT networks and move into OT and ICS environments, creating real physical and operational impact.

This video focuses on:

✔ OT / ICS network monitoring and packet analysis
✔ Industrial protocol fundamentals (Modbus, S7, DNP3, OPC-UA)
✔ MITRE ATT&CK for ICS and attack mapping
✔ ICS lab and simulation mindset
✔ Secure remote access and IT–OT convergence

Rather than demos, I explain why these skills matter, what you should learn, and which tools and frameworks are worth your time if you’re building or advancing a career in industrial cybersecurity.
